The industry is driving old timers off by droves. Before long gun control won't be necessary because no one will be interested anymore. People that had 250 competitors at IDPA matches are now having less than 10 and in their range shops they want $68 for 100 federal FMJ. Before the election IDPA was dying in this area. A weekend long match that brought people from several states had 64 competitors. Sporting clays are doing ok but it's more of a social thing. They make as much off BBQ chicken as the range. Last weekend I went to a sporting clay course. About 50 people shot a round of sporting clay. They sold around 200 plates of chicken when we left.

My guess is that a lot of people that don't own firearms are buying up all the ammo they can thinking "I'll sell it for a ton of money and get rich", kinda like the people that buy up the collectible of the month to sell that don't actually collect the item.
